The Uncivilized Inhabitants OF . Dutch
West India Possession.
The native, havingprepared his food,
ignores the use of knife and fork and
uses his fingers instead. When l speak
of the native l mean the bulk of the
people, for although there is popula-
ton of about Is, 900 in the town, two
thirds of them are an ignorant dialect
speaking class, and beggars, indescrib-
ably dirty, 60 from door to door asking
for coppers. AS you look down the
narrow street from where we now
stand you see that person with a
white skin is only one out of twenty or
thirty, the greater part of the throng
consisting of negro girls and women
going to or coming from market with
heaping baskets balanced on their
heads. There are no outdoor sports
practieed by the people. though dane
ing is a common amusement for even
ings. Every night from sunset until
ten or eleven o'clock you hear the most
fearful music issuing from the natives
houses. You are perfectly free to en-
ter, and the music commands first at
tention. This is made by fife and
cows horn with stiff piece of leather
and three bells fastened to it, and with
which the artist pounds his knees. To
this noisy inspiration the company
keeps time with motion of the body
like a snake. They join hands, wind
in and out, let go, glide backwards,
yell, go forward, catch hold of hands,
yell again. and so on until the man
with the fife breaks down for a rest.
They grace this dance with the name
of ''tumba," and there is another, of
an African origin, INDUCED in some
what, called ''tambour," but this is
unattractive in any sense.-Curocoa

American Harvesting Machinery in Aus
tralia.

Australian papers just received announce
the award of the National Gold Medal to
AULTMAN, MILLER Il Co., of Akron, O., for
their Light Draft Buckeye Folding Binder,
in December last. The following, cut from
the Melbourne Argus of December 16, 1886,
giving particulars of the contest, will be of
interest. The Argus says:
The field trial OF reapers and binders in
connection with the National Show at
inst, on Mr.. Guthrie's farm, about two
miles from Shepparton. Owing to the
pressure of harvest work, crops in all di-
rections being ripe, the attendance of farm
ers did not exceed l50, but great interest
was taken in the proceedings. AS at the
late show, the Judges placed the Hornsby
machine first Mccormick second and the
Woods third; the Buckeye representa-
tive disliked being left out in the cold, and
demanded field trial as provided by the
rules, the Mccormick also sharing in the
protest; so the prizes were held over pend
wheat, and the land was so rough that
none of the machines could show very low
cutting, and the jolting over the hard clods
was tolerably severe on horses, machines
and drivers Two o'clock was the hour fixed
for the trial, but as the Buckeye was the
only machine then ready, a delay was
caused by the Hornsby and Mccormick
experts giving their machines a pre-
liminary run in the adjoining block of crop,
and start was not made until quarter
past three. The five judges gave great at
tention to their duties, and were ably sec
onded by the subcommittee, appointed by
the society and the secretary, Mr.. Harold
B. Turnkey. About two acres were allotted
to each machine, and they finished in
the following order: Buckeye" hour 10
minutes; Hornsby, 1 hour 10 minutes;
Mccormick, ! hour Is minutes. The two

worked the Buckeye binder with equal
ease The decision of the judges was based
on the following scale of points:

The Two Houses in Indiana Look at the
Senatorship Question From Different
Points of View.
INDIANAPoLIs, Ind, Feb. 2f.-The Demo
cratic members of the Senate yesterday
afternoon passed a resolution reciting the
story of the fight over the Lieutenant Gov
ernorship from their standpoint, denying
the Legality Of the alleged Joint convention
in which the vote for Lieutenant Governor
was canvassed and certified, relating to the
bringing of the suit for an injunction
against Robertson, it's issuance by
Judge Ayres and the final action of
the Supreme Court, and closing by express.
ing a desire to submit the matter to the
judges of the court for arbitration. The
Republican members were present, but
persisted in their policy of refusing to vote
and declining to recognize Senator Smith
as the legal presiding officer. The House
still refuses to recognize the legality of the
Senate's organization, and there is no Off
cial intercourse between the two branches.

High License In New York.

NEW York, Feb. GA citizens mass
meeting was held mere last night in the
interest of high license and the restriction
of the liquor traffic. Mayor Hewitt sent a
letter in which he said that as an execu-
tive officer of the city whose duty it was
to carry out the law he did not think it
best to take sides. From the first day of
his mayoralty he had been pushing the en-
forcement of the law. As between high
license and prohibition he thought the
former had been proved the most feasible
where tried; but it was question whether
it would work well in this city. He favored
a law permitting the sale of light wines
and beer on Sunday. Speeches were made
indOrsing the high license bill now pend
ing before the State Legislature.

THE GARFIELD FAMILY.


u Glimpse Mt tho Han isome Home ot
A. Mentor and Its Occupant
In five years there have been many
notable changes in the Garfield family.
There have been no deaths, but the
children of whom the father was SO
fond have grown up. The two older
boys have begun a course in the CO.
1umbia College Law School, and Harry,
the elder. has been teaching in some
Eastern school, Both are graduates of
Williams College. James r Garfield
has been studying law with Judge
Boynton in Cleveland, and is looked
upon by friends of his father as the
son most like him in every way.
He has his fathers size, complexion,
eyes and manner. Both sons are now
men, and have, it is said, great am
bition. Miss Mollie, the only daughter,
is now young woman taller than her
mother, and has about finished her
studies. The two younger sons,
Abram and Irwin-the latter named
for General Irwin McDowell-are old
enough to enter school on the Hud-
son, and left home for their duties
there recently. They had never been
away from home alone before.
Since the preliminary education Of
Abram and Irwin IN the Cleveland
public schools the mother has had no
further desire to live in city. She
has ordered her mansion in Cleveland
sold and has decided to make her
future home in Mentor. She has here
added to the modest frame house of
her husband "Queen Anne" structure
which cost $4,000 1t is the most inn
posing home IN the country, although
the new part is behind and wholly SUBJ
servient to the old house in which the
President lived. This still remains the
head and front of the Garfield home,
although remodeled to conform with
the addition. A $4,000 addition to a
$1,000 house is a curiosity in modern
architecture, but sentiment for the
past andits illustrious dead inspired
it. There are probably sixty rooms in
both new and old houses. They are
all furnished in modern style and with
considerable elegance, and there is an
air of aristocracy about the interior
which Garfield did not know in his own
home. Although the house is far in
the country it has all the conveniences
of city home-in plumbing, gas-fit-
ting and steam-heating.
A natural gas well has been bored on
the farm, and the yard is kept lighted
day and night. The main entrance is
through the old house. In the hall
facing the door is Grandma" Gar
fields old wall-sweep clock, which her
husband brought home just sixty years
ago. 1t is still the STANDARD time'' of
that house, and keeps on ticking just
as it did when the President was born.
To the left is the smoking room, which
is a lounging room for the family,
James being their only one who
smokes. To the right is the old parlor,
now reception room, and rich IN relics
of the dead. 1t was once his study.
Bibles and other books are upon the
tables, and the furniture is much the
the same as when the family left for
Washington. World.

DUBLIN, Feb. 26.-While force of 200 po-
licemen was making seizure on the No
lan-Farrell estate at Ballyhaunts, County
Mayo, they were attacked by about 200 men
and women, armed with sticks and stones.
Several policemen were injured in the af-
fray. Finally Rev. Mr.. Warlow interviewed
and prevented further violence. At New
Ress, one hundred policemen went to the
workhouse and arrested the refractory
paupers, but at the sessions court the
charges of assault against the prisoners
were withdrawn and they were allowed to
return to the workhouse A Nationalist
band, which celebrated the result by pa
rading through the streets, came into col
lision with the police. In the fight that fol-
lowed the musicians instruments were
broken and many of the men were injured

tion " neither he ever went to church. He
said te the examining counsel, Mr.. P:
''Sair, object to answer de kesteon-it is
not a proper kesteon." The counsel in
sisted, and the witness said: 81 appeal to

The Judge ruled that the question was q
proper one and must be answered, and
thereupon the witness, with utter uncon-
seriousness of his blunder, said (convul-

Charities at its head. which has been in
vestigating the management of the Summit
County lnfrmary at Akron, made its re-
port to-day. 1t requests the resignation Of
Superintendent Hamlin and Physician
Fouser, and suggests numerous reforms in
the system of management. The report
declares that 1t is remarkable that more
ilegitimate births have not resulted from
the indiscriminate herding of sexes, and
says that the air is foul and sickening in
the insane building, and that the cells AZ
ford neither seclusion nor isolation.

SECUTED BY DE LESSEPS.
The Veteran French Engineer Scouts the
Idea of Ship Canal Through Mica.

Idea of y Ship Canal Through Mica.
ragua.
LONDON, Feb. 26.-The Standards Paris
correspondent says that in an interview M
de Lesseps declared that he had learned
with pleasure of the formation of the
Nicaragua Company, which, he said, would
improve the prospects Of the Panama
Canal Company. The Nicaragua Canal
being fresh water body would be useful
as means of irrigation and fertilizing
the country. NJ. de Lesseps secuted the
idea that the Nicaragua enterprise could
be used for interoceanic traffic, as, owing to
endless locks increasing the time of tran
sit, vessels would prefer going around Cape
Horn. Referring to the Panama canal, he
said the only point of anxiety was the rocky
culcbra, although he was finally convinced
that the contract would soon be pushed day
and night, lighting the culebra by means OF
electric lights. The directors Of the COM
pany anticipate that the work accomplished
in 1887 will be double that done in 1886. The
Panama Canal Company has bought thirty
locomotives in Belgium.

Shaved with Pumice stone.

Ever hear of a man shaving himself
with a pumice stone!' asked an Ogden
avenue barber of Chicago Herald re-
porter. There is carpenter over here on
Jane street who has not touched his skin
with a razor for six months, yet his face is
always as smooth as woman's. Three
times week he sits down upon the bench
in his shop, and with piece of pumice
stone held tightly between his index finger
and thumb, he will slowly rasp the stubble
off his chin and chops. He says he can
shave himself in this manner in half the
time it would require him with a razor
Talk about there being any money in a
barber shop! It's all bosh 1t won't be
long before men will be shaving them
selves with sponges, and cutting their hair
with an egg beaten"

Endowment and Amusement.

There is radical difference between
enjoyment and amusement. He whose
chief effort in life is to be amused, gen.
orally fails to find much real enjoyment;
while he whose life is most truly joy
GUS seldom feels the want of amuse-
ment. True joy is a serious matter, -
says Seneca; but it is more serious
matter to be so in need of real joy that
one must be habitually seeking amuse-
ment as a source of that joy, OF
as substitute for it. We must first see
the serious side of life before we can
enjoy life.-S. S. Times.
